Froschhausen

Froschhausen is a district of Seligenstadt situated to the northwest of the town center in a gently rolling landscape. The area features residential buildings, green spaces, and the prominent Catholic Church that defines the village character.

The settlement first appears in written records from 1287 as part of the Benedictine Abbey of Seligenstadt's territory during the early medieval period. Recovery after the Thirty Years' War was slow as the devastated community gradually restored its population and structures.

The Catholic Church of St. Margareta shapes the local landscape and remains the spiritual center of the community since its construction in the late 1800s. Religious celebrations and traditions continue to be observed here by residents and visitors alike.

The district is easily accessible on foot with roads connecting all its main areas throughout the neighborhood. Daytime visits allow visitors to explore the village and appreciate the surroundings and buildings clearly.

After the Thirty Years' War, the population collapsed to only about eight or nine farming families, requiring difficult reconstruction from near ruin. This extreme depopulation left lasting marks on how the community developed afterward.
